Complaint Summary
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Owner Narrative
THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS BUT MOST RECENTLY WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 70 MPH MY TRUCK WENT INTO FIRST GEAR AND LOCKED UP MY TRUCK REAR END. I SLID ONTO THE BERM OF THE ROAD AND ALMOST DOWN A HILL. THE DREADED WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, THE SPEEDOMETER WENT INOPERABLE, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRUCK WENT INTO SORT OF A LIMP MODE AND DROVE REAL WEIRD. THE CODE WAS A P0720 OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR. OF COURSE MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS A 2012, BUILT IN DEARBORN WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSION AS THE RECALLED ONES, GO FIGURE! I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH SHARPNACK FORD IN WILLARD OHIO THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW WITH THE TRUCK WHERE I WILL PAY $1000 TO GET THE LEAD BODY IN THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THIS IS TOTALLY RIDICULOUS THAT ALL VIN'S FOR 2012 ARE NOT COVERED. I OWN THREE FORDS AND I AM STARTING TO WONDER WHY!
